Outbreak may be strong words, but I want as many people as possible to read this.
I’ve thought long and hard about what to post, its very cold but I want to be as transparent with the facts as possible.
On 24th October at 1:14pm I had a phone call from the new croft centre kindly informing me that I have tested positive for oral chlamydia. Tested negative for everything else, no clap in my front or back bums.
My last test, which came back clear, was late July 2017, if we factor in a 3 week incubation period it takes it to early July, so I’m just going to say all of July 2017 just to be on the safe side.
The test, which came back positive, was conducted on 18th October 2017. I last saw a client on 23rd October 2017.
I strongly recommend any client I’ve seen between1st July-23rd October 2017 go to the clinic ASAP. Ring them and tell them you’ve been in contact with someone with oral chlamydia and they will give you the treatment. I recommend that girls get tested ASAP too as we all tend to share atleast 1 or 2 clients, better safe than sorry.
Sadly I can’t narrow it down as this can have no symptoms.
When you get tested, please get all 3 swabs. Oral, anal & vaginal/penile. Even if you don’t engage in anal activities its worth getting as salvia can travel. Which means the infection can travel.
Treatment is 4 tablets, all taken in one go and they recommend no sex, protected or otherwise, for 7 days. Then another test 6 weeks after.
Moving forward, once I return to work I will only be offering OW. Health has to come first.
With this industry we make calculated risks with our behaviours, everyone knows the risks going in. I can only apologise for unknowingly putting people in this situation, but also remember that my throat didn’t just develop chlamydia of its own accord.
Any questions, I'm happy to answer them, if I can of course.
Be vigilant with your sexual health, keep yourself and your partners, civvy or escorting, as safe as possible.
